18: Initiation Day 2
Last Updated:
2021-10-19 07:14:50Samantha's weekdays were spent like that. Kada dismissal, sasabihin niya kay Franco na makikipagkita siya kay Lucy at saka mauuna ng umalis.
Sinundan niyang minsan ang dalaga at doon nga ito nagpunta pero hindi na siya bumaba sa kabayo niya para pasukin pa ito.
He was still curious though kaya naman kinompronta na niya si Lucy isang araw.
Lucy told him that she was helping Emy about the initiation day. Ayaw pa nga nitong sabihin ng una pero kinulit niya ito.
He didn’t know kung nainis niya ba ang dalaga dahil sa pangungulit niya. She wasn't even looking at him.
Napaisip naman siya about kay Emy. At first, he thought bakit kailangan pa nito na kay Lucy lumapit para lang sa gagawin sa initiation day eh andito naman siya. But he realized that Emy must be needing a female guidance. Napakamot na lang siya sa ulo niya.
He was about to thank Lucy pero nakaalis na ito sa harap niya. Mukha atang nasobrahan siya sa pamimilit. Babawi na lang siya bukas dito.
***
Kinabukasan...
Lucy was startled ng makita sa labas ng classroom niya si Franco. Of course, she was panicking for a moment. Kahit hindi siya ang pakay ng binata, ganun talaga ang epekto nito sa kanya.
"O, Franco, anong ginagawa mo dito? May lakad ba tayo?" Tanong ni Jules sa kanya. Magkaibigan sila at parehas na nagpapart time sa court.
"Hindi naman ikaw ang ipinunta ko dito eh."
Nagulat si Jules dahil doon. Pero bago pa siya makapagtanong ay nakaalis na sa harapan niya si Franco. Dumeretso siya sa harapan ni Lucy na sa loob loob ay mas lalo pang nagpanic.
"D-do you need anything?"
He smiled at her which caused her heart to beat frantically.
"Hindi na kita napasalamatan kahapon. Umalis ka kasi agad eh."
"You don't have to."
Pero umiling si Franco saka bigla siyang parang nahiya. Inilagay niya ang isang kamay niya sa batok niya at yung isa naman sa bulsa niya.
"Atsaka, I might have inconvenienced you kahapon dahil sa pangungulit ko. Gusto kong bumawi. How about we have lunch together?"
Napanganga si Lucy. Totoo ba to? Was he really asking him for lunch?
"Nagbibinata ka na ba, Franco? Bakit inaaya mong maglunch si Lucy?" Mapanuksong sabi ni Jules sa kaibigan at inakbayan pa ito.
Hindi napansin ni Lucy na pinagtitinginan na pala sila ng mga kaklase niya. Agad siyang pinamulahan ng mukha.
"Sira." Sabay batok ni Franco sa kaibigan niya. "Tinutulungan kasi ni Lucy si Emy para sa Initiation Day. Kaya naman gusto ko siyang pasalamatan para sa pagpayag niyang istorbohin ng pinsan ko."
"Napakamapagmahal mo naman palang pinsan."
"Di mo lang alam no."
Tapos ay nagtawanan pa sila.
"Sumama ka na, Lucy. Wag kang mag-aalala sasama din ako. Panigurado kasing manlilibre itong si Franco."
"Wag ka ng sumama."
"At bakit naman?"
"Baka mailang lalo si Lucy."
Tumawa naman si Jules. "Since when do you become sensitive about ladies?"
"Shut up."
"Hahaha... Iba talaga ang epekto ng pagdating ni Emy sa inyo. Parang di na kita makilala ah."
"Sira ka talaga." Tapos ay tiningnan ni Franco si Lucy. "So?"
"O-okay."
Told you, she was the kind who would grab any opportunity para lang makasalamuha si Franco.
"Great! Tara na."
Tumayo naman si Lucy at sumunod kay Franco.
***
It was a blissful experience for Lucy ang makasama ng ganun katagal si Franco at makasabay pang kumain.
The guy was obviously trying his best to make her feel comfortable and have a conversation with her. She could tell na hindi ito sanay sa ganoon and somehow, it made her feel special.
Syempre, hindi niya pinahirapan ang binata. Kapag nagjjoke ito ay tatawa siya agad. Kapag may sasabihin ito, she paid attention and sometimes, even gave her thoughts about it. At kapag nagtatanong ito ay agad niyang sinasagot.
Franco, on the other hand, appreciated her cooperation. He never asked any other ladies to eat with him kaya this kind of thing was very new to him. Akala niya, magiging sobrang awkward silang dalawa. But somehow, even he enjoyed talking with her.
Lucy was a smart and fun lady. Kaya din ito nakasundo agad ni Emy. Napuna kasi ni Franco na hindi palakaibigan ang pinsan niya. But Lucy was able to befriend her. Mukhang hindi naman sa aloof si Emy. Sadya lang talaga siyang mapili sa kaibigan.
Nag-usap pa sila about sa iba pang topics hanggang sa nagdecide silang bumalik na sa campus. May panghapong klase pa rin namn sila eh.
"Thank you." Pasalamat niya kay Franco ng alalayan siya nito pababa ng carriage.
"I should be the one thanking you again." Saka tumawa ang binata. "Well, see you around."
Tumango siya saka nauna ng umalis. She couldn’t contain her smile anymore. It was like a dream for her. She almost skipped while walking dahil sa saya niya. She knew it was silly pero in this world where full of schemes and heartaches, she wanted to take this opportunity to at least be like a real teenager.
Lucy had an urge to look for Emy and hugged her. Kung hindi dahil sa dito ay hindi ito mangyayari sa kanya.
Hindi na naman siya nahirapan na hanapin si Emy. The lady was just ahead of her. Mukhang pabalik na ito sa klase niya. She was about to call her nang may biglang humarang sa dalaga.
It was the Fifth Prince.
She thought na nagkataon lang yun. But when Emy tried to evade him, he still blocked her way.
She saw Emy looking around them quickly. Nang wala siyang nakita na ibang tao sa paligid ay nginitian niya ang binata. Then they said few words to each other. The guy also smiled at Emy.
Lucy gasped as she realized something.
"No, that's not it. I just have... I just have someone important to meet today."
So was it the Fifth Prince? Kaya ba hindi niya masabi kung sino ito?
Napatakip na lang ng bibig niya si Lucy saka napangiti. Of course, Emy was beautiful. Even in her opinion, her beauty was out of place in this Grey City. She obviously stood out even in her simplicity.
"I have to confirm if it really is the Fifth Prince." Lucy thought to herself bago umalis na doon.
Meanwhile, hindi naman talaga nagngingitian ang dalawa. If Lucy had looked from different angle, she could have seen that it was a smirk that they have given to each other.
The Fifth Prince stopped Emy from walking back to the classroom. Luckily, there was no one around them.
When she asked kung anong kailangan nito sa kanya ay nginisian lang siya nito. Sabay sabing, "I am watching you."
Saka ito umalis na.
Napailing na lang si Emy. Hindi niya alam kung bakit parang wala lang sa kanya ang sinabi nito. Maybe because she knew na kung may iba pa mang mas makikinabang sa ginagawa niya ay ang Fifth Prince ito.
If Emy destroyed the Black Council, pabor ito sa kanya bilang Presidente ng Supreme. And if she ruined Prince Vio for killing Marco, then it was also still a favor for him as he wanted the throne that much.
Napaling na lang si Emy. She had more important things to do now than to deal with the threats of that guy.

The Initiation Day finally came. It was truly a festive day. Halos excited ang lahat na pumunta ng Grey Academy. They even dressed up going into school.Except for Emy. Light color ang dress niya ngayon at napakasimple lang. She also just let her hair loose. After all, she had a mission to do and had to look normal today in order for her to not caught any attention.She even had a huge hat na kapares ng dress niya. It could cover her face well kaya hindi muna niya ito isinuot ngayon dahil kailangan muna niyang harapin ang pamilya niya."Akala ko matatagalan ka na naman eh." Sabi ni Franco kay Emy ng pumasok na ito sa great hall. Gaya noon, batok na naman ang inabot niya mula sa Mama niya."Are you okay, Emy?" Alalang tanong ni Feng."Opo.""Don't be too nervous later ha. Kayang kaya mo naman gawin kung ano man ang mapili mong topic eh.""Thank you po.""Sayang nga at hindi ako ang top student ng Level Three. Kung saka sakali, m

Everyone watched as Diana and Emy faced off with chess. They all knew that Diana was good in this game. But they were expecting that this girl would somehow give her some sweat.Napailing na lang ang karamihan while they were thinking that this girl was just making a fool of herself.However, not all of them were thinking the same.For example, Franco had never seen Emy played chess before but he knew that she wouldn't just let anyone beat her this badly. He knew that for a fact because he witnessed her tenaciousness before.Kaya naman kahit na naririnig na niya ang mga sinasabi ng mga tao sa paligid ay kalmado lang siya na nakaupo doon at nanonood.Isa pa na kagaya ni Franco ay ang lalaking nakaupo sa itaas ng puno.

For the past few days, Emy's mood obviously didn't change. In fact, maging sila Feng at Francis ay nahalata din na bugnot ang dalaga nitong mga nakaraang araw. Franco, on the other hand, felt her rage through sword fighting. Halatang sa kanya ibinubunton ng dalaga ang inis nito.Iniisip tuloy niya if he had done something that caused her irritation.Days passed at nakareceive ng balita si Emy. She heard that Diana had finally found a new HQ at malamang sa malamang ay kikilos na ito as soon as possible.That improved her mood. Ibig sabihin kasi non, the game would resume in no time.As Diana prepared for her next move, she should also do the same.

When Sebastian went back to the palace, agad siyang sinabon ni Vio tungkol sa "pagkakatakas" nung nakaputing maskara. Simple siya nitong ipinihiya sa harap ng kanilang ama at mga tauhan nito.Hindi naman nakakapagtaka iyon dahil bukod sa nabulilyaso na naman ang plano nila ay nagkaharap pa silang dalawa kanina. Kaya malamang ang init ng dugo nito sa kanya."Your priority should be the command of the Emperor before your role as the President of Supreme.""My priority must be the most pressing one at the moment. And that is to suppress the Black Council members who were causing chaos around the campus."The Royal Guards have seen it too. The casualties made by the Black Council members were too much. Are you saying, Vio, that I should have turned a blind eye on them and instead pursued the White Masked person who did nothing but to defend the students against the Black Council?"Do you really think that if I do that, the parents of those injured and

Hanggang pag-uwi ni Emy ay iniisip niya si Haow. Although their training went smoothly after that sudden stop, hindi nawala sa isipan niya ang tanong nito sa kanya."Do you believe in reincarnation, Emy?"Of all the people, siya ang buhay na patotoo ng reincarnation. She died and her soul took over the soul of another lady. And she had been living as her ever since.Kahit siya ay nasanay na rin. She used to be aware kapag tinatawag siya as Emy because if not, hindi talaga siya lilingon. But now, everything that was all about Emy became hers completely.But she really wondered why Haow ask that to her?Naputol lang ang iniisip niya when Lia appeared and told her na natapos na ang lahat ng armor na pinagawa niya."Distribute those for Liu Fu and Choi Kang.

The same week na natapos ni Emy ang eksperimento niya, Franco also finally let her start practicing horse riding.Though kailangan pa rin naman niyang magpractice para mamaster niya ang archery, most of her time would be occupied now by her training with Haow.Somehow, she was excited. She had read a lot of books about it of course. But it was not enough. Sa lahat ng aaralin niya eto lang yung may living thing na kasama kaya naman nakakasigurado siya that it would be unpredictable.Today would mark her first day of training. Haow told her to meet him after class. Kaya naman saktong pagpatak ng uwian ay dali dali siyang lumabas ng malaking gate ng Ming Province.In normal days gaya ngayon, everyone was free to go outside. Kaya naman, Emy didn't have to get any permission to do so.She went directly on the hills kung saan sila magkikita ni Haow.Hindi rin naman

One month later...Emy and Franco continued their Level Three in Ming Academy. Tatlong linggo na rin magmula ng magresume ulit ang klase and they only had two more months para sa pinakahuling pagsusulit ng taon.Most of the students were busy now sa pag-aaral. Emy, on the other hand, met with Liu Fu and Choi Kang to plan their next mountain trip.Sa totoo lang, ayaw ng sumama ni Choi Kang. But Emy tempted him with an offer na hindi niya kayang tanggihan. She gave Liu Fu and him free armors and promised to give the rest of it once they finished doing what she wanted them to do.It was really not a bad offer. In fact, nasubukan na nila Liu Fu at Choi Kang ang tibay ng armor ni Emy. It was high class and one of a kind.They didn’t know where she got them but surely, because of it, they were willing to do any favor from her."Let's go over the mountain next
A Queen's Revenge 1: A Peerless Genius from Two Cities 51: The Mountain
This was the first time na aakyat si Emy ng bundok. Hindi naman kataasan iyon so they might not take a while before they reached that area where Liu Fu and Choi Kang found that water they used for their magic trick.Anyway, along the way, she could tell na dahil hindi pa naeexplore ng husto ang bundok na iyon. She could already imagine lots of wonders hiding there. And just a mere thought of it was enough to make her eyes shine.She wanted to discover them all. But for now, her focus was that water.Hindi naman siya nagmamadali. She had more than a year to discover most of it if not all. And with that, her lips hooked up like an excited child.Liu Fu and Choi Kang were telling her about the important things about that mountain. Gaya na lang nang madadaanan nila ang isang area na may entrance ng cave. They also told her na may waterfall din na itinatago ang bundok at sa likuran ng waterfall na iyon ay nagtatago ang isang underground cav

Days passed quickly. Shin's family officially ended their winter vacation at bumalik na sila sa Royal City para sa pasukan nila Shantal.Bukod pa doon, Emy had been busy doing various things.Una, most of her time were occupied sa training nila ni Franco ng archery. Like when she was learning the swordfighting, she dedicated a lot of time sa pag-aaral ng archery at paggamit noon sa practice nila. She was still about to master it but her progress was already quite impressive.Sa gabi naman na hindi siya nagpapractice, inilalaan niya ang oras niya para sa pag-alala sa mga alaala ni Emy at sinusubukan niyang isulat ang lahat ng iyon sa mga notebooks niya. Most of tgise things she could remember were under chemistry, ang pinakapaborito ni Emy. But her entries under the other topics were not that bad too.And to see how effective they were, she started deploying Lia and Veronica to do tasks for her.

The next days had been very busy for Emy and the rest of the Hans. They roamed around the Ming Province na nagawa agad nila sa loob ng isang araw dahil maliit lang naman ang lugar na ito.They had visited the plaza kung saan ginaganap lahat ng competition na maiisipan ng mga tagaMing na ipaganap. Nagpunta rin sila sa Barracks at sa Ming Academy kung saan sila magpapatuloy ng pag-aaral nila ni Franco ngayong pasukan.Malaki ang kaibahan ng curriculum ng Ming at Grey. Kung sa Grey ay required ang mga estudyante na umattend araw araw ng mga klase nila, sa Ming ay hindi. As long as makikita sila ng propesor nila sa Training Ground o sa iba pang departamento na nagsasanay kapag biglaan itong nag-inspeksyon ay ayos lang na hindi sila umattend ng klase nila.Kaya karamihan ay nasa mga kani-kanilang departamento na pinagkakadalubhasaan kapag may klase kesa sa loob ng classroom.Isa pang kailangan sa Ming Aca

"Yah, Emerald Hans... I can't believe na nakalimutan mo na agad na may pinsan ka at tinanggap mo ang offer ni Haow na magturo sayo ng archery at horseback riding." Puno ng pagtatampo na sabi ni Franco when they arrived at sabihin sa kanya ni Francis ang nangyari.Sa dinami rami ng ama sa kanya ay iyon lamang ang tumatak sa isipan niya."He offered first." Emy said nonchalantly."Of course, siya lang ang nandito eh. You should have think about me first bago ka sumagot."Hindi naman mapakali si Haow ng makita niyang nagkakatampuhan ang magpinsan dahil sa pag-offer niya ng tulong kay Emy. He was bound between taking back his offer and keeping them. In actuality, he really wanted to teach Emy for his own personal reason."Para kang bata, Franco." Sabi ni Lie Chen. Sinamaan siya agad ng tingin ni Franco. Then nilapitan niya si Haow at pinaningkitan ng mga mata. Singkit na nga siya ay

After lunch, pinayagan na sila na maglakad lakad sa kung saan nila gustuhin.Dahil malapit lang naman ang market doon, Shantal, Sabrina and Sammy, along with Franco and friends, decided to go there.Pinaiwanan naman ni Feng si Emy dahil baka mapagod ito ng husto at sumama na naman ang pakiramdam. Hindi na naman siya nagreklamo at doon na lang sa training ground naglakad lakad.Walang masyadong tao pero yung mangilan ngilan na naroroon ay kanya kanyang pagsasanay ang ginagawa.The training ground was too big that they divided it into three. At the left most part of it was for those who were practicing archery. The one in the middle were for those into martial arts. And the last side was for sword fighters."Do you mind if I accompany you?" Someone asked her suddenly. She was busy looking at the archers na hindi na niya namalayan na may nakalapit na pala sa kanya.

The next day, maayos na ang pakiramdam ni Emy. They told her that the rest of their travel ay natulog lang siya habang pinagpapawisan ng marami and muttering incoherently. And when they arrived at night, hindi siya magising kaya naman they decided to just bring her in the room. Feng almost put an all-nighter though. She was extremely worried about her at kung hindi pa umayos ang lagay niya around midnight ay baka nagpatawag na ito ng manggagamot. Emy was grateful. Anyway, she also found out na ang bahay na tinutuluyan nila ngayon ay ang ancestray residence nila Lie Feng. Malaki ito at malawak pero sa normal na araw ay tanging si General Lie Zhang, papa ni Lie Feng, at ang isa pang apo nito na si Lie Chen lamang ang naroroon. Kaya madalas ay mas pinipili na lamang nila na sa barracks tumuloy. Gaya na lang ngayon. "We have to visit the house of the Chief bilang pagbigay galang. Kaya mo bang makasama, Emy?" Tanong ni Francis. "Yes, Uncle.
